Iron overload is a clinical problem which can be prevented by using iron chelating agents. An alternative method of relieving iron overload is to reduce iron absorption from the intestine by administering specific iron chelating agents, which can bind iron to form nonabsorbable complexes. Based on this strategy, a series of polymeric ligands containing the chelating moiety 3-hydroxypyridin-4-on...

background: iron deficiency is the most common single-nutrient deficiency disease in the world and is a major concern for about 15% of the world population.  it has been shown that iron deficiency may affect thyroid hormones.   objective: to determine thyroid hormone status in iron deficient adolescent girls.   methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out in lar province and its’ vicinity i...

In this work, we report synthesis of surface modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) by co-precipitation method using FeSO4.7H2O and Fe2(SO4)3.5H2O as precursors and trisodium citrate dihydrate as surfactant. Surface modification of the as prepared samples was performed in pot by sol-gel precipitation method u...

background and aim: iron deficiency anemia is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world today. it affects the lives of millions of women and children through contributing to poor cognitive development, increased maternal mortality and decreased work capacity.  because of the important role of iron in the physical and cognitive health, and for the universal consideration of eradicati...

A study was conducted to compare the effects of iron hydrogen phosphate nanoparticles (FeHPO4) with iron sulfate (FeSO4-7H2O) on growth performance, carcass characteristics and mineral content of breast muscle in broiler chickens. A total of 200 one-day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were assigned randomly into four dietary groups with five replications of ten...
